Call for Participation - Second Annual Workshop on the Predictive Model Markup Language

Hyatt Regency San Francisco - Garden Room A - View Hotel website

Co-located with the KDD-2001 Conference.

The Predictive Model Markup Language is a vendor supported XML language for statistical and data mining models. At the workshop, a general introduction to PMML will be given, followed by a description of some of the newer features provided by PMML Version 2.0, including taxonomies, data transformations, rules, sequences, and naive bayes.

With Version 2.0, a major effort will be made to broaden the user base of PMML. All interested parties are urged to attend. Afterwards, there will be opportunities to discuss becoming full or supporting members of the PMML Working Group.
